I just thought I would send you this short note telling you that I feel like I have stepped out into deep waters regarding the teaching about A NEW VIEW FOR THE END TIMES. I do not want anybody to think that I am dogmatic about what I have shared. There are so many views about how God is going to close this age. I have come to believe that it is very important that we see that God's plans are about ages, and not a totally endless time frame. It is sad to see what some of the earlier translators did when they came up with the word “eternity” and “hell.” Our father's plans for the future of his creation are far beyond what our finite minds can conceive, so we'd best be careful about our conclusions and our theology regarding such matters.

I waited a couple of weeks before I felt comfortable to share what I believe the Lord has shown me. In regards to the end times, I confess to you that I have sought the Lord earnestly to know as much as He is willing to let me know. I know such matters are controversial to most Christians. Many are very dogmatic about this; nonetheless, it should not be a matter of breaking fellowship over doctrinal questions in this area. I really believe that no one at the present time has the complete and final understanding. In regards to these end time matters. We are simply left to wait on God, until he reveals all of these plans for his creation. Again, as I have said in the teaching, it's really not for us to know all about this. Jesus made that very obvious. We are left, simply to trust Him that His plan is good and wonderful and better than we can see or ask or think.

If you watch or listen to this teaching, I earnestly hope and pray, that if you disagree, we can still be friends and have fellowship in his love. The important matter is that we have the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ and know Abba Father.

In love and Peace
Stephen
